Pros: Outstanding sound quality
Cons: For me, $125 is a lot to pay for headphones.
Summary: I’m working on a CD project, consisting of the best of two live festival recordings in June of 2007 and 2008. I did the 2007 recording sort of by accident, as the band before me recorded and the engineer and I cut a deal for him to stick around. ... read more

Pros: Sound quality, sturdy design, replaceable cords, hard shell case.
Cons: Price is overly inflated, came with no adapters.
Summary: Taking a minor pause from reviewing music, I thought I'd take the time to review another music-related product, and for the past few years I've been rocking out using Bose's "budget" model of on-ear headphones. This powerful set of speakers, ... read more

Pros: Epic sound. Luxurious comfort. Thoughtful design. Two supplied cables and semi-hard travel case. Supports iPhone.
Cons: Somewhat steep initial cost. Pads can harden up in cold weather. Thin-ish cables.
Summary: Its easy for audiophiles and "informed" consumers alike to bash Bose. To claim Bose sells inferior products through aggressive marketing tactics for premium prices may very well be true, but take note that nothing was spared on this particular set of ... read more

Pros: Sound, Bass, Quality, Comes with extras.
Cons: Price. The ear inserts. The packaging.
Summary: So after everyone just telling me to buy these. I went ahead and bought these. They are pretty good for staying in your ears. Something you need to get used to. The fittings are nice, different sizes for different sized ears. I was surprised that it ... read more

Pros: Bose replaced broken headphones at no charge, superb sound and comfort
Cons: Frame is somewhat flimsy and broke when removing them from my head
Summary: I picked these up for a sound class I took back in 2003 that required "good, ear covering" headphones thinking I'd use them for the few weeks the class ran and then pack them away somewhere. Whoaaaa baby, was I was wrong about that! These quickly ... read more

Pros: Great sounds, soft and light.
Cons: Expensive!!!
Summary: When my husband got me these to go with my iPod for my birthday he was more excited than me to take them out of the packaging. I didn't understand why until I took a listen for myself. Wow! These are great and he told me later that they were also for ... read more

Pros: Sound Quality, bass, in ear comfort, symmetrical cord design
Cons: Price
Summary: Update: People need to know that this review is based on the newly remodeled Bose TRI-PORT in-ear ear buds. They have the zebra black and white cord and are priced about $20 higher (going for $99 at this writing) than the older Bose model - that's how ... read more

Pros: Superior sound quality too good for words.
Cons: Headphones become too uncomfortable to wear for any real length of time.
Summary: Because I have small children, I have to watch movies after they've gone to sleep. I also have to wear headphones so I don't wake them up. Being a snob for letterbox formatted movies, one can imagine my desire for superior sound to go with it. I was ... read more

Pros: Bass, Clear Rich sound, does good job blocking noise
Cons: I havent seen them in orange
Summary: I just purchased a pair of the Triports and when I finally got them I plugged them into my laptop. The results were absoluteley AMAZING! Even the manual tells you not to turn on any artificial bass boost, since they do a great job at providing rich deep ... read more

Pros: Good sound, excellent bass, good clarity, lightweight and portable
Cons: Very sensitive treble and clarity picks out poor recordings or MP3 compressions. Expensive.
Summary: Comfort Simply - Amazing. They fit so nicely, warm and I can wear them for hours without feeling I need to get them off. Infact they become transparent, and forget they are there. I would say these are the most comfortable pair of cans I've ... read more

Pros: Light-Weight, Comfortable, Stylish
Cons: Sound can be better for the price. The Price

Pros: Full range sound, light, very well made
Cons: Tight on my head, unconfortable after hour our or so
Summary: For many years I had enjoyed Koss, Sony and Stax headphones, then I stuck with Sony for a while since their studio monitors where light, comfortable and sounded "right". I tried Sennheisers, AKGs, Bang and Olufsen's and only the Sony's endured. I ... read more

Pros: Fit and finish, sturdy, sound is OK
Cons: Price to quality ratio is too high. Lousy cord. Made in China
Summary: I bought these a few months ago. They sound OK, but I'm not overly impressed with them. They have a good feel to them, and the pads are nice and soft. The sound though leaves something to be desired, I feel. I consider myself a Hi-Fi nut, and own and ... read more

Pros: Great style, comfortable, isolate some sounds
Cons: Questionable build quality, distorted/bassy sound, not a very good value, utterly trounced by lesser-known-brand headphones
Summary: I have to give a disclaimer: I don't actually own a Triport, but I've listened to them extensively through friends, store fronts, etc. Therefore, I'm a little qualified to say that these headphones are good...to an extent. Let me explain. Bose has ... read more

Pros: Good bass, lightweight, good sound qulity all around
Cons: Mid high sounds bad without EQ
Summary: I recenetly picked up a pair of the Bose Tri port's. I have to say, they are probably the best headphones I have ever used. I also have pair of quietcomfert 2's, and I think this has better sound quility. The Quietcomfert's have better bass, but ... read more

Pros: Amazing sound, comfort. Bose has a great warrantee policy.
Cons: Breaks too easily
Summary: When I first bought my Bose TriPort headphones, I was so thrilled to be privileged enough to listen to music in the way it was meant to be listened to. Sheer perfection of sound. Amazing comfort on the ears, and ability to trap yourself in a world of ... read more

Pros: Great sound. No noise gets in to disrupt the music
Cons: Construction is good except at the band to speaker connection
Summary: I've got ears like an elephant. Big and floppy. I tried buds. No luck. They just fall out. Over the ear. Not to bad, but still the sound suffers. Then I found the Bose Triport. Kinda big. Kinda bulky. Kinda fragile? We all have seen the ... read more

Pros: Comfortable On Head. Good for acoustic music. Good return policy.
Cons: Very distant sound. Distortion. Price.
Summary: I got a pair of these headphones at best buy last weekend, to use with my new Creative Zen Micro. I really was expecting more for the price tag. The phones make good natural tones, pretty decent bass response at low volumes, and ok highs. The sound ... read more

Pros: Comfort and good, natural sound.
Cons: I hear some hiss on some recordings.
Summary: I didn't spend a lot of time shopping and comparing headphones but did read up on available models, mostly to narrow the down the field in terms of features, price point, etc. Here's what I decided I was looking for: 1)clean, natural, and unaffected ... read more

Pros: The comfort and sound are too good to be true
Cons: They're expensive; bass boost gives you the ultimate experience
Summary: I am a music connoisseur. I will not settle for anything less than the best. And when it comes to music, I demand near-perfection… Of course, being a teenager and all, money is tighter than anything, so getting to near-perfection is usually not the ... read more
